The plans for the Sokoró Gate, which will be the largest Székely gate in the world, were officially presented. According to the plans, the gate will be about ten and a half meters high and 16 meters wide. 28 square meters of carving will be visible on its surface, which will include, among other things, the coats of arms of the sixty-four historical counties. Based on the idea of the organizers, an additional special feature of the gate would be if the coat of arms of each county was made by a woodcarver living in the area of the given county - strengthening the message of unity.
The construction dreamed up for Sokorópátka will also be considered special because it will be Hungary's first Székely gate under which road traffic passes. I would like to implement the initiative through civil cooperation. The mastermind of the Székely gate, Péter Vajda, spoke on the Győr-Moson-Sopron county news portal, Kisalföld, that they would like to create a park next to the gate, and for this purpose they also purchased a three thousand square meter area.

The president of the Sokorói Landscape Association emphasized that the investment will be realized from HUF thirty million, for which they received many offers. In addition to the financial ones, there were also local entrepreneurs who wanted to help with the construction of the gate with raw materials, expertise or work.
The necessary wood is now being ordered, which was offered from Transylvania. Péter Vajda also mentioned the Pedró Bakery as an example, where for every Székely bread sold, they support the construction of the gate with one hundred forints.
The Franciscan monk Csaba Böjte assumed the patronage of the initiative.
It will also be a great challenge technically. The finished gate will weigh about 11 and a half tons
- highlighted Sándor Pető, master woodcarver from Transylvania.
